This

Dragon's
Lair III ? Why not... In this 'new Dirk adventure', the game
environment is in 3D... The same Dragon's Lair 3D engine has been used
to build the stages -as simple video- in the game. But you won't be
able to move Dirk like the Dragon's Lair 3D version. You'll have to
choose the correct move in the correct time frame, like the original
game. The best stages are the one copied from the 83' original
version, but in 3D. Fun to discover them in a new look. But for the
rest... :-( |
